After getting tired of watching the same stuff repeatedly , i planned to switch to tollywood. Now watching a telugu movie without understanding the language is very difficult , atleast for tamilians , so i watched only those movies which had subtitles.There were hell loads of movies in the college LAN and i didn't know where to start from when suddenly my friend told me to watch this movie called chatrapathi.I found the subtitles for it and started watching.It was a commercial entertainer with equal proportions of everything,the movie neither did have a great story nor did it make any sense but even with such a script the movie was fast and one's adrenaline started punping even faster.All this was because of the genius intellect of one man - S.S.RAJAMOULI , a young fellow for directing standards but filled with creativity.
Every small aspect was perfect , be it the background music , fight sequences , emotional scenes , choreography , everything!
Then i googled him and found a wikipedia as well as an imdb page dedicated to him.
Here is some info copy pasted from there :
He is the son of popular tollywood story writer, Vijayendra Prasad. He was introduced as a director by K.Raghavendra Rao. Previously, Rajamouli directed teleserials under the guidance of his guru K.Raghavendra Rao. His first gig was Student No.1 , which he directed under K.Raghavendra Rao's supervision. He often collaborates with Vijayendra Prasad (Writer),who is also Rajamouli's father and M.M.Keeravani (Music director).
Filmography :
- Magadheera(2009)(Super Hit)
- Yamadonga(2007)(Super Hit)
- Vikramarkudu(2006)(Super Hit)
- Chatrapathi(2005) (Super Hit)
- Sye(2004)(Super Hit)
- Simhadri(2003)(Super Hit)
- Student No.1(2002)(Super Hit)
All i can say about him his , S.S.Rajamouli brilliantly concocts all the 'usual' commercial aspects and with a little bit of fantasy into one large piece of 'bangaram' which would be quite intimidating to possess because everyone would be after it.
If i do meet him in the future , i would fall at his feet begging him to come to Kollywood to 'just' direct one movie which would be a milestone in 'Ilayathalapathy' Vijay's career.
If i ever go into the direction field or even otherwise, i would proudly say that S.S.Rajamouli is my god and lets hope that the legend's legacy continues.
Note : I am quite serious and advise you all to watch his movies to get 100% entertainment which , nowadays is quite a rare thing to see in Indian Cinema!
Thank You for reading through , Happy Movie Watching !!

I agree on the fact that he is one of the most likeable directors in Tollywood,mainly due to his 100% success rate.But there are so many loopholes i come across in each of his films(I've watched all btw) that i dont buy most of the stuff in all his films.I think this guy is no legend,because if you think he is,I think you should start calling directors like K.S.RaviKumar as legends.And i dont think people in Tamil will like it either.Take Student No 1,which was made in Tamil and the film sank without trace.No,the plots in each of his films are interesting enough.But i think he should take that extra step and throw a decent amount of logic and realism into his films to...get my attention!;)...And its nice to see you've gotten yourself to watch telugu films also!:)
You are right!
But dude , even though every rajamouli film sans logic , he gives attention to the minutest detail of the direction part..and btw all his films have the story and script by his dad , his job is just direction and bringing out such a energetic movie from a dumb script is a challenge (Sye!...lol)
And moreover movies were created to portray the unreal..and not the usual living stories...we call them documentaries...
I dint know his dad writes scripts for all his films!..And oh,I love Sye!..I think its his best work till date!
